I have had several Mercedes sedans, each with the optional factory floor
mats. In each case the drivers mat slides around due to foot action on
the pedals. The mat ends up all bunched up, nearly getting under the
brake pedal. Does anyone out there have a fix to stop the sliding around
and bunching up?

Thanks,

You can glue extra strong hook and loop tape (sailing shop) under the
mats or clamp just four big snap fastener on mat and velour. Such things
existed some decades ago.

On older cars, factory had a clamp and pin assembly that you clamp your
floor mat and stick the pin into the mat below that to stop it from sliding.

Alot of time, as these mat age, the foam backing wear out and allows the mat
to slide forward. I think the solution is rip out that foam backing and put
in equal amount of grippy liner that is used in drawer or under the rug.

Or stick a large safety pin into the mat and factory floor mat.

The newer MB has hook and hole so there is no way to make mistake on those..
